A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and sacrificing creatures would benefit from including Persistent Specimen, as it provides a way to bring back a creature repeatedly for just {2}{B}. While this card offers a cost-effective way to return a creature from the graveyard, there are potentially better options available depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Bloodghast or Gravecrawler, which offer additional benefits like recurring themselves without needing to pay mana. Whether or not Persistent Specimen should see play would depend on the overall synergy and game plan of the deck it's included in.
